Realizing my passion and enthusiasm for helping mothers to have the birth they dream of came as quite a surprise, and I truly feel blessed to have found it. I love discovering, with each woman I work with, her desires for her birth and how I can help her towards them. It's a joy to work with her partner as well, figuring out together how we can be the best support team for her. Approaching the birth, we are prepared for anything, knowing that we can't always predict how things will happen, but making sure that at each decision point, mom has the information she needs to make decisions she feels comfortable with.
In addition to being a DONA Certified Birth Doula, I have completed the CAPPA Childbirth Educator Training and am working on that certification and the Center for Breastfeeding's (Healthy Children) Certified Lactation Counselor Training in October and am waiting to hear about that certification. I am really excited to be able to serve my clients in these additional ways.
I had a natural birth with my son and I can't imagine what it would have been like to do it without the amazing support that I had. It is a dream come true to be able to provide that kind of support for other women!
Please view my website or contact me for more information, as I would love to help you have a birth from which you walk away glowing, feeling empowered, beautiful and stronger than you had ever imagined!
